Default ATP - from zero to hero

Hello ladys and gents,

I have a question....actually a couple of questions...

I am a german citizen and started my flying career in the US a long time ago. I did a US PPL and US IFR. After I finished my university degree, I continued pilot training under the european system.

I loved the flying in the US. Especially the hands on flying and airmanship aspect.
To broaden my horizon I would like to do a US CPL, ATP, ME.
What is the best way to go?
How much time do I have to plan in?

Since about five years I am flying Airbuses for a major german airline, full German ATPL,CPL,CRI, Flightinstructor, TT: ca. 3500h.
Last year ca. Mobil: 140h SEP Flying, VFR only.
So I am current regarding SEP flying, but I have not touched a Multiengine Piston for five years. TT ME is only 40 hours. Rating not current.

Do you have any ideas?

My ideas so far:

US CPL
ME
ATP ME

Thanks for any input,

Chris
